Standfirst: Improving farming practices and agronomy know-how

Tereos maintains close links with the upstream agricultural industry. These links are essential to our ability to respond to the needs of a rapidly growing worldwide population and to the reduction in available agricultural land per capita.Together with our cooperative growers, partners and suppliers, Tereos helps to:

Improve farming practices and agronomy know-how

Expand the use of mechanization and new farming methods

Test and distribute new crop varieties

Wherever we operate, we use precision farming techniques and methods that reduce the soil compaction associated with increased mechanical harvesting.

Tereos’ innovations enable us to:

Use new mechanical processes to optimize our sugarcane plantations

Use drones to monitor our sugarcane fields

Use sheeting and straw to cover our sugar beet and protect it from frost, making long-term storage more viable

Improve cassava seeds to increase productivity

eRcane, Tereos’ research center on Réunion island

Tereos is conducting research into sugar cane processing and production on Réunion island

The eRcane center researches the production of new varieties, industrial processes, bio-refining and sugar cane cultivation techniques

Tereos creates new varieties of cane which are particularly well-suited to dry, non-irrigated or high-altitude areas (R586, R577, R583)
